Datapeople, a New York-based SaaS recruiting predictability platform provider, raised $13M in Series A funding.
The round was led by co-led by GreatPoint Ventures and New Markets Venture Partners, with participation from First Round Capital, NextView Ventures and Uncork Capital, as well as operator syndicates Gaingels and FOG Ventures.
The company intends to use the funds to scale its go-to-market function and increase the delivery of new features and products.
Led by CEO Amit Bhatia, Datapeople is a SaaS recruiting predictability platform that gives teams the intelligence and control they need to meet their hiring goals, starting with their job descriptions. The company brings data-backed objectivity, efficiency and predictability to talent acquisition, beginning with optimized job descriptions and following with reporting and analytics on recruiting processes and performance. Its data-informed recommendations are powered by a database of over 65 million job posts and millions of hiring outcomes to examine job posts holistically: both on content (what is said) and language (how it is said). Beyond this, Datapeople’s bias guidance identifies eight forms of bias including racism, tokenism, ableism, ageism, sexism, nationalism, religious bias, and elitism. The Job Score helps users understand how their content is likely to perform in the local market across a range of dimensions including candidate pool volume, quality and diversity.
Since 2022, more than 10,000 users have edited 170,000 jobs in the Datapeople platform.
Today’s news follows the launch of Datapeople Anywhere, a browser extension update released in response to the rise of the use of Generative AI technologies for job postings, which works on top of any applicant tracking system to ensure all job descriptions, whether written by recruiters, hiring managers, or generative AI tools, are clear, compliant, and inclusive before posting.
